Patient Stories for Dr. Rishikant Ojha
I am visiting India from SA and my child fell sick on a weekend,I searched him online and went with a mindset that he will check my child for max 4 mins write a long prescription which I won't have any idea about including antibiotics and that's about it. I was so wrong, upon enterance first thing I noticed was a sign which meant the doct doesn't believe in giving unnessary antibiotics. Then I saw a kids friendly clinic( with toys, aquarium a very friendly receptionist). My appointments started on time and like abroad the doct first checked weight and height and asked me the problem and listened to me patiently. He then advised me several things which is against everything you might have thing is right but it was the most useful information that I got. Almost life changing for the betterment of my kids. After an hour I just didn't walk away with the current problem solution but a life long lesson. He told me the pros and con of every medicin that I am going to administer.
I recommend Dr Ojha to every parent who is willing to listen and change there mindset about things that are being pushed on us as parents by MNC's. Thank you Dr for being so passionate about your work and putting every patient first.

Been with Dr Ojha for about a year now for my kid. I have consulted a lot paediatricians but have found Dr Ojha's approach highly professional combined with anecdotes understood by common man. His profound experience is reflected in the way of his investigation which may seem casual for the untrained eye but highly details and spot on. He give ample time to hear each question we have for him about our child ranging from ailments to nutrition to psychological development and guides us. The major fear I always had was to bring up a child in this world in a cess pool of over-medicines, antibiotics and processed nutrition was quickly alleviated by him as his approach was more on developing a stronger biological system rather than rely on external stimulus on ailments. I really appreciate him, his plethora of experience and his approach in treating his patients; and also handling inquisitive and overly protective parents. A deep and profound thanks Dr Ojha for your guidance and help.

I am visiting Dr Ojha from last 3 yrs and I can say, I am MORE THAN SATISFIED with him.
He listen to you properly, explains things that we dont know and most important DO NOT give a lot of medicines rather help by listing out natural thing which can substitute medicines.
I have read some reviews here lately and agree that every one has there point of view, I want to share mine...
I would say I am happy to hear few hard words if that is in betterment of my child health. He is talkative? yes, because he explains things. It takes you 1hr in cabin? yes, because he guide what we are doing wrong and what can be improved.
He takes time because he listen to you, far batter than the doctors who list down all medicines even before you finishes explaining your problem.
I would say I have a perfect doctor for my kid and I have and will highly recommend him.
